We hope you’re having a gold star kind of day, but if you’re needing a little lift me up, we have some good news: Planet Earth II, narrated by Sir David Attenborough, will premiere on BBC America on Saturday, January 28, 2017 at 9/8c (yes, it’s a bit away, but that’s how much we’re looking forward to it). If you […]

Are you scratching your head thinking about a way to spend your Wednesday evening? We have a suggestion you might like. A special encore airing of Sherlock‘s “The Abominable Bride” is happening, hitting theaters… TONIGHT (December 7) only. The screening includes an exclusive four-minute clip of co-creator Mark Gatiss talking about season four of the series, […]

Well, she is Madonna. If you’re going to invite the Material Girl to ride along with you, it’s probably expected she may have some needs. We use the term “demands” loosely, because she was polite about it, saying to James Corden, “Please, I don’t really like riding around in a car unless there’s music.” And, […]

We’re all about time travel (for the obvious reason) and in Assassin’s Creed, while Michael Fassbender‘s character Callum Lynch isn’t actually going anywhere, his consciousness is transported back to The Spanish Inquisition.

You read that right, Wes Anderson has created a short film, with little fanfare, reuniting him with actor Adrien Brody, a regular in Anderson’s films (The Darjeeling Limited, Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Grand Budapest Hotel). We’re all about full transparency here at Anglophenia: This is indeed a commercial for H&M in the form of a film, but at […]

Okay, we don’t want to irritate any hardcore Star Wars fans with this mash-up. But, we trust it won’t tarnish George Lucas‘ legacy and you guys will agree this is all in fun, right? The folks over at Bad Lip Reading have taken scenes of Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and Yoda from 1980’s The Empire Strikes Back, filling in the […]

Okay, the above headline may not have the same ring as Three Men and a Baby, but seeing Dr. John Watson with his new baby and best friend, “Uncle” Sherlock, makes us go there. We have a sneaky feeling Sherlock Holmes, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, may not be so keen on the familial title, him being so particular […]

We just mentioned the original 1965 series Lost in Space in this Anglophenia post on AI characters. And now there’s an adaptation of the space travel series being made by Netflix, set for 2018. In addition to learning the show itself is being made, we have some fun casting news. It turns out Parker Posey is set […]

Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard are teamed up in the forthcoming Cold War drama Allied, hitting theaters tomorrow (November 23). As we learn in the trailer, Cotillard’s character is suspected of being a sleeper spy.
